Fleeing From Yellow Fever.

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. Ga special from
Tampa. dated 10 O'Clock this morning says;

the existence of yellow fever. There are on
ly two cases, both of mild type There has
been one death. People are panic stricken
and the city is being deserted The fever

A Mystery Cleared.


SEw YoRK. Oct. l2.-The World to-mor-
row win publish twelve column comics
sion by Charles Francis Stair concerning the
murder of Cashier J. W. Barron, of the
National Savings Bank at Dexter. Me-, on
February - 1873, and the robbery of the
bank.
The robbery and the death of Barron
caused a. gresa. sensation AT the time. andt
mystery attending the matter has never
been cleared up. Barron was found on the
evening of that holiday lying bleeding and
unconscious in the bank vault. The door
of the vault was open, but the funds were
untouched, and only 500 in money and a
500 bond were missing from the cash
drawer The story was started that Barron
bad committed suicide 10 avoid exposure of
some misconduct toward the bank. This
was never proved. but the family of the dead
man have suffered socially on account ofthe
allegations.
The HOrid says that young man named
Charles Francis Stair has now made a state
ment that he and his father, David Stair,
with Oliver Smith, alias Cromwell WELL
known criminal, and four men named An
drews, Thompson, Scott and keeiy, were
the authors of the crime. They had pro-
cared impressions of all the locks in the
took advantage OF the holiday when the
blilding seemed desened to gain entrance
by false keys. On opening the vault room
door David stair fonnd himself face to face
with Earron, who had been to the coal closet
and was returning with a seattle in one
hand and shovel 10 the another.
The vault door was unlocked and the
eashiec was apparently arranging to count
the funds and verify his accounts. Stair at
once struck him several blows with siung-
shoi, rendering BIN unconscious. and Crom-
well then came up and heiped Stair gag and
bind the senseless man. The robbe.s did
not dare say 10 ransack the vault They
look key from Barron's pocket, opened
the cash drawer and took he loose cash and
hun .iedly fed The other members of the
ea1g had been on watch in and near the
bulldog. and ON learoing that the cashier
had seen Stair they decided 20 flee. Young
S.lir had waited few miles away with a
wagon, All found their way thither and
drove 10 Scion, Me-, where they separa-

They did not learn that Barron was dead
until the next day. Young Stair heard ell
the details of the robbery fjom his father and
Cromwell. He believes that some OF the
sang started the story of Barrons defalcation
in otder to divert sdsppion from themselves.
Young stair is nader arrest at Franklin,
Mass. where he made the confession He
was traced there by a detective from Maine
Il is believed that the Others involved Will
be cIptaied.
